BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a maritime pump, and especially to a maritime pump which may lead the seawater in and out of the pump without electricity or other energies.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] As everybody knows, the conventional pump comprises motors, vanes, and pistons. In such conventional pump, electricity or an other energy is used for operating the pump. However, this kind of conventional pump has the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. The pump is made of mechanical components and is operated by electricity or another energy. In this way of operating, the pump usually consumes large amount of natural energies, and the natural energies is always irretrievable.

[0006] 2. The pump is always made by mechanical elements, so that it takes additional resource to keep it in good shape, and such maintenance always takes time and costs.

[0007] 3. The operating of aforementioned pump and the consuming of natural resource always produce wastes and pollution.

[0008] 4. Further more, the efficiency of such pump is usually unqualified and could not reach the anticipated purpose, so that it takes more resource to keep it operated and becomes more and more consuming.

[0009] In order to improve the aforementioned defects, the inventor of the present invention has made a great effort and disclosed many novel designs; eventually this invention of a maritime pump is disclosed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a maritime pump, which is constructed only by minimum amount of mechanical devices or elements.

[0011] Because the maritime pump of present invention is constructed with mechanical devices or elements, it is easier for people to manipulate and it consumes less energy, it is another object of the present invention.

[0012] A further object of the present invention is that the present invention of the maritime pump causes almost no pollution and may make the best of it to obtain seawater as more as possible.

[0013] The present invention will be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing to the following drawings in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the maritime pump of present invention is composed of a plurality of crutches 20 and a floating block 30 which keeps the maritime pump at the proper position in seawater. Herein, the crutches 20 are set at the lateral of the pump body 10, which stabilize the pump body 10 and make the pump body 10 slide along with it. The density of the aforementioned floating block 30 is lower than seawater and may be put on the top or the bottom of the pump body 10 so that it keeps the pump body 10 at the proper position of seawater. The aforementioned pump body 10 is a tube-shaped object and is attached with a hopper 50, so that it is easy to lead seawater into the pump body 10. Furthermore, a plurality of guiding sticks 60 is set in inner side of the pump body 10 so that the piston 40, which is hold in the pump body 10 may slide along with them. The shape and size of the piston 40 the same as the area of the space of the tube-like pump body 10. Besides, the piston 40 is hollow so that it is easier to be pushed to move inside the pump body 10. Furthermore, there are guiding holes 41 formed on the plane of the piston 40 in the relative positions of said guiding sticks 60, so that the aforementioned guiding sticks 60 can penetrate these guiding holes 41 and thus make the piston 40 slide along with the guiding sticks 60 to push seawater.

[0024]FIG. 2A is the longitudinal view of the first embodiment of present invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, we can see that the tube-like pump body 10 is put at the proper position in the sea and is attached with a hopper 50 facing the seawaves, the surface of the hopper 50 incline outward in order to lead in more water. Besides, there are guiding holes 41 formed on the plane of the piston 40 so that the guiding sticks 60 can penetrate these guiding holes 41 and thus enables the piston 40 slide along with the guiding sticks 60 to push seawater. Furthermore, an anti-countercurrent valve 81 is attached in the outlet pipe 80. The outlet pipe 80 is set in the end of the pump body 10 for the outlet of seawater, the caliber of the outlet pipe 80 is much smaller than the caliber of the tube-shaped pump body 10, so that when seawater in the pump body 10 is pushed by the piston 40, it may increase the pressure of seawater inside the outlet pipe 80, so that it is easy to lead out of seawater when the pressure of the outlet pipe 80 is increased. In addition, there is an intake gate 70 and a filter 71 are set at the rear end of the pump body 10. Herein, the filter 71 is to percolate the seawater led into the intake gate 70. Besides, there is a stopper 90 to stop the intake gate 70, such that the seawater would prevent from leaking out of the pump body 10 when it is pushed into the outlet pipe 80. Of course when the seawater led into the pump body 10 through the intake gate 70 is being pressed in opposite direction by the piston 40, the stopper 90 may block the intake gate 70 and keep the intake gate 70 shut, so that the seawater inside the pump body 10 would be smoothly pressed out into the outlet pipe 80 by the piston 40.

[0025]FIG. 2B is the cross-section drawing of the first embodiment of present invention. It is clearly shown that the size and the shape of the piston 40 same as that of the space inside of the pump body 10. Besides, there are guiding holes 41 formed on the plane of the piston 40 in the relative positions of the guiding sticks 60. The said guiding sticks 60 are made of antirust material, so that when the guiding sticks 60 penetrate aforementioned guiding holes 41, the piston 40 can slide along with the guiding sticks 60 to push the seawater inside the pump body 10 out into the outlet pipe 80.

[0026] Referring now to FIGS. 3A and 3B; which show how the first embodiment of the present invention operates; as shown in FIG. 3A, the piston 40 is not pushed by seawater so that its position is close to the front end of the pump body 10 and the hopper 50. At this moment, the intake gate 70 is opened by the leading of seawater, so that the pump body 10 is filled with seawater. Referring now to FIG. 3B, when the seawater in the pump body 10 is pressed in the opposite direction of the leading of seawater by the piston 40, the stopper 90 may close the intake gate 70, so that the seawater inside the pump body 10 is pressed out into the outlet pipe 80 by the piston 40 in one way. In addition, because of the smaller caliber and the increasing pressure of seawater inside the outlet pipe 80, the seawater in the pump body 10 may be easily led out.

[0027] Referring now to FIGS. 4A and 4B; which show how the second embodiment of the present invention is composed; as shown in FIG. 4A, the relation and composition of the pump body 10 and the crutches 20 are the same as in the first embodiment. One or more inner waterwheels 40 a are set in the pump body 10, while the plurality of outer waterwheels 40 b are set at the lateral of the pump body 10. Bearing 42 is a tube-shaped body being the core of the waterwheels 40 a and 40 b and penetrates the pump body 10 at a proper position. Said waterwheels 40 a/40 b are used for different purposes so that when the outer waterwheels 40 b are pushed and rotated by the force of the seawave, the bearing 42 may also rotate the inner waterwheels 40 a in a coaxial way. Accordingly, the seawater in the pump body 10 may be pushed into the outlet pipe 80 and easily led out. FIG. 5A are the longitudinal view and cross-section drawing of the second embodiment of present invention; as shown in FIG. 5A, the inner waterwheels 40 a are set at a proper position in the pump body 10, while the plurality of outer waterwheels 40 b are set in pair at the lateral of the pump body 10. When the seawave strikes, the outer waterwheels are pushed and rotated by said seawave. Further, the inner waterwheels 40 a are rotated by the bearing 42 and thus guide the seawater into the outlet pipe 80 a.

[0028] Accordingly, from the aforementioned description, the maritime pump of present invention certainly has the effect of absorbing seawater for people's utilization without using the artificial energy. It is than an invention worthy for many kind of applications
